well, the food lists in the health series books have a slight difference on certain foods, it s a more targeted advice depending on the issue.......for me, certain neutrals become 'infrequent neutrals' or avoids.......

that s what I was referring to.

OH ok i see ... i still haven't gotten my hands on that series ... Thanks again

The issues I have right now is alot of stomach/intestines growling/bubbling/gurgling and lots of burping I eat alot of honey since it doesn't seem to bother me.I

Lisalea, you say that honey doesn't seem to bother you, but could it maybe be the culprit or is this something new you've added to your regimin. If you've been eating honey the whole time you've had the stomach/intestines growling/bubbling/gurgling and lots of burping thing goin' on , maybe consider taking a week away from honey to see if things change. If not and you are going to continue w/ the honey, try to find local honey as it's supposed to be good re: allergies.

Thanks my dear it's good to see u here ... I'm quite confused about all this growling/bubbling/gurgling that's been going on, just recently I read somewhere that it may be because I have alot of stomach acid !!! I though it was the opposite and that I had low stomach acid ...go figure !!!I also keep reading that it may be due to stress ...

I would really appreciate it if Dr.D'Adamo would adress this problem.Any possibility of this happening ???!!!

Italy, the bees take the pollen from the flowers and turn that into honey. So the value for honey would be for all types of honey regardless of the source of pollen. Unheated honey has the benefits that keep bees so healthy and thriving. Raw honey may have been heated during filtering.

Would the raw unpasteurized honey have the most benefits ???Thanks very much in advance

Hi LisaLea,I used to have horrible gurgling and rumbling in my insides. It was terribly embarrasing and even kept me awake at nights. It has decreased almost to nothing since I stopped eating all gluten grains.

Oh my God !!!I know exactly how u used to feel ... VERY embarassing indeed and scarey especially in the dead of night!!!

I have so many questions !!Did all the horrible gurgling and rumbling in ur insides happen suddenly out of the blue one day ?Did u go see a professional about ?

How did u figure out that it was simply a gluten intolerance versus something more lethal ??Thank-u so much for sharing, it inspires me as I'm trying to find answers and others that have gone thru this or r going thru this.

I dealt with this for years, LisaLea. I tried changing my diet in all kinds of ways, and found some things that helped. The biggest help was finding my secretor status, because when I thought I was a secretor, I was eating lots of avoids, such as my beloved Late' ( ), sugar, wheat, etc.

After cutting out avoids, I felt a lot better, but still had the noisy tummy. I went to my doc and he suggested that I try staying away from all gluten for a month and see if it helped. So I did, and I saw a difference within a couple of days. It didn't even take a week for me to feel better. I had to stop with even the sprouted grain breads, because they also have gluten.

Lisalea, one way you can think about things "all of a sudden" bothering you is this..........picture a cup, a drop at a time, it takes a long time to fill up. But then one day, it does indeed and then the cup runneth over. I liken that to how our bodies react to avoids or in this case to grain intolerance. It may have taken many years to get this way, but now we have problems, our cups runneth over, they say "enough, I can't take anymore" and start causing symptoms. It's easy to understand (for me anyway) if you think about it like that. When we add that last avoid (or last drip of water), the problems start. Hope that helps a bit. I can't tell you how many people have said to me "but I've never had problems w/ _____ before". I give them the ol' cup runneth over scenario. Also as Victoria pointed out, knowing your secretor status will help you immensely. You can also be tested for gluten intolerance/celiac.

This clears things up for me somewhat ... take for instance today I ate a big bowl of broccoli, carrots, lima beans, basmati rice, a little butter, seasalt, paprika and curry powder (it was so delicious !!!) and I still gurgled somewhat ... but ALOT less than usual I've noticed ... at least so far ...I'm gonna have to experiment more in depth ... time and patience is a virtue ... however; even spelt and oatmeal r NOT gluten free I beleive and they're supposed to be beneficial for me ...

People on this board have reminded me that BTD is a guideline but if we have a specific intolerance/problem that throws off the theory somewhat in the sence that we r all individuals ... and rightly so ... with different needs and what works in general is NOT necessarily what will work for every single person on earth ... sigh
